- NOVEMBER 2006 - 1963 Western Shu-Pak Side Loader A gleaming new Shu-Pak side loader made by Western Body and Hoist Company of Los Angeles, epitomizes southern California's forward-thinking approach to refuse collection. This drop-frame, one man side-loader equipped with automatic transmission and dual steering controls was "state-of-the-art" modern in 1963. Only the ancient REO cab gives away the truck's real age !
